The current configuration consists of a diskless/fanless Via C7 uITX system running CentOS 5.9 (Linux), this runs the echoirlp software that interfaces with the IRLP board on a parallel port. The audio ports of the computers sound card and the IRLP interface connect directly to a port on the 2m analog repeaters Arcom RC-210 multiport controller. This provides excellent audio quality. The entire echoirlp system was donated and built by members in 2011.

This is interfaced to the computer using a design from the ARRL HF Digital Handbook with added audio isolation transformers and pot level controls. This interface still needs a small enclosure, if you have one you would like to donate please make contact.
